President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has charged graduating cadets of the 5th Regular Course of the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, not to disappoint Nigerians on sacred trust reposed on them to provide adequate security in the country.
The president made the call during the passing out parade of the 169 cadets of the 5th Regular Course in Nigerian Police Academy, POLAC, Wudil in Kano State.
Tinubu, who was represented by the vice president, Kashim Shettima, called on the cadets to discharge their duties diligently and professionally while calling on them to place priority on justice over compromise, accountability over corruption and equity over self-interest.
He urged the cadets to stay vigilant, united and tuned to the ideas that make the police an exemplar of honour and integrity while discharging their responsibilities.
